Why should Christians, especially those in @The_ACNA, care about canon law?
Because good governance isn’t an end in itself. It helps create the conditions in which the Church can faithfully pursue her mission. Canon Andrew Rowell explains why good order matters for the sake of the Gospel:

We're excited to announce The Discipleship Pathway, coming September 8! It's a practical, biblical resource from Canon Mark Eldredge and Deacon Dollene McLemore for growing as a disciple of Jesus and helping others do the same.

Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage: We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favor and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure conduct. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom, in thy Name, we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. – at Mashpee, MA

***SIGNIFICANT #ACNA development in the trial of Archbishop Steve Wood--' On Saturday, June 20, The Court for the Trial of a Bishop posted a notice dated June 19, 2026 that postpones the date of the trial to October 26, 2026 “to better fulfill its goal of providing a full and fair adjudication of the allegations in this matter.”' #churchtrials #anglican #parishministry #allegationsofmisbehaviour #parishministry #ordainedlife #ethics

Provincial Council 2026 concluded with a call to sacrificial leadership, Gospel mission, and deeper partnership across the Province. Delegates heard reports from missionaries, chaplains, church leaders, and other @The_ACNA ministries, while looking ahead to the new Mission Council gathering in 2027. The work continues...americananglican.org/provinc…
On the last morning of @The_ACNA Provincial Council 2026 at Cornerstone Church in Tulsa. Thankful for the work that was done by the church and hopeful for the work still ahead!
Day 2 of @The_ACNA Provincial Council included the approval of Title IV revisions, the formation of the new Anglican Diocese of the Mid-South, the passage of the FY27 budget, and discussions on mission, transparency, and the future of the Province.
Read our full recap: americananglican.org/mission…
UPDATE: In addition to passing Title IV and Title I revisions, the Diocese of South Carolina has withdrawn its resolutions that sought the release of records related to the Ruch matter by the Trial Court. Bishops Chip Edgar and Chris Warner said the goal was transparency, not overturning prior decisions. An independent inquiry led by four diocesan chancellors will now examine the process, with results to be made public, due to a meeting with all parties involved before the Council began today. It is because of this agreement between the parties that South Carolina will withdraw their previous resolutions.

For those following legislative action at the ACNA's Provincial Council: the amended Rules of Order have been adopted, which restrict delegates to an "up or down vote" on canonical amendment proposals and disallow further changes of their text from the floor at debate.

The Rev. Cn. Andrew Rowell, our AAC Director of Anglican Governance Ministries and the Chair of @The_ACNA Governance Taskforce, presents the revisions of Title IV to the Council one final time before the vote to amend the provincial canons. Will post some of the illustrations given in the delegate packet below, for those interested.
The application for a new diocese in @The_ACNA was presented, and the motion was accepted by Council, to form the Anglican Diocese of the Mid-South, encompassing Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and a section of eastern Texas. This diocese is formed from the missionary district of the western part of the @adots_acna.

A significant afternoon awaits at @The_ACNA Provincial Council 2026. Delegates will consider revisions to Title IV and Title I, vote on two resolutions concerning the Ruch matter, and decide whether to admit the Anglican Diocese of the Mid-South as a new diocese. Measures receiving majority approval move to the special Provincial Assembly, which will meet online on June 25th.
